How It Works

Money Path enriches classroom instruction by helping students apply the knowledge and skills you’ve equipped them with to build plans for their future.

  • Step 1:

    Students select the post-graduation option or career path they want to explore. If considering post-secondary education, they select the institution and field of study.

  • Step 2:

    Students then explore the education expenses and income connected to the career option they are considering.

  • Step 3:

    Students assess their need for student loans and the long-term financial impact.

  • Step 4:

    Students create a budget with their estimated future income and living expenses.

  • Step 5:

    Students set financial goals and forecast retirement savings based on prior choices.

  • Step 6:

    Students can save as many paths as they like and compare them to make the best decision for their future.
